Thanks, Bernie…

Well…with the news today the Bernie Sanders is dropping out of the race for the dem nomination, all I have to say is thanks Bernie….look, I’ve been a fan of Bernie’s for a long time with his core being always trying to look out for the little guy and trying to rein in the corporations who are sucking this country dry. Bernie was not my choice in the primary, I voted for Liz Warren since I think she has the best combination of empathy, tact and steel and would make a great president…but, she didn’t win and am I sitting here pouting and saying that I’ll vote for trump if Liz is not the nominee? I’m looking at you Joe Rogan…you pea-brained idiot…you’d give us 4 more years of trump just because your fee fees are hurt that your guy didn’t get enough votes to win…I’ve got news for you, moron…that’s how it works…Joe got more votes so he is the nominee…with no rigging of the primaries or any other bullshit conspiracy theories that you and the rest of the “Bernie Bros” have been spouting….okay Bernie, now is the time to tell your followers in no uncertain terms that you will back Joe completely and you expect your followers to do the same…to do anything else is to be collaborators in the destruction of this country…and no, destruction is not necessary for the country to be rebuilt…it makes it so much damn harder to get the society you say you want….so, swallow your pride and understand that Joe Biden, with Bernie, Liz, Kamala, Amy, and Pete working together can start that repair process…and get us all to the country we can be if we just shoulder the repubs aside…

Back to politics…

Well…just got back from a quick run up to the hospital and now it’s time to get back to politics after a few days off…I’m not sure why there is so much hand wringing on our side about the “electability” of our candidates with one being too far to the left, one being to centrist, two being women (yep, that’s still a thing) and one being a real billionaire…but I think the task for our side is far simpler than anyone makes it out to be…and it is something that I’ve said here many, many times…when we vote, we win. We just need to turn out our voters and make sure they understand that of any election in the country’s history, this is one that no one on our side can sit out…and that should be our focus…turning our our voters and convincing them that no matter who the nominee is, we need to get behind them…no protest votes for a Jill Stein that gave us the idiot trump…even if you may not like Bernie, Liz, Amy, or Pete or they are not “your” nominee, you need to suck it up and still vote our side and not just the top of the ticket…we need our voters to get off their butts and vote for our side all the way down the ticket…we need to protect Gary Peters for senate here in Michigan and we need to continue to make gains in the state senate and house and we need to protect our majority in the House…we need to make every damn one of the repubs pay for their protection of the criminal trump and his cronies…and with moscow mitch destroying the senate more and more every day, we need to take that back to start the cleanup that we have to do every damn time we follow the repubs stupidity. Just vote…pretty damn simple, huh? Just frickin vote….
